Have a problem posting an XML document to a client whom is using classic ASP to receive it and Microsoft.DomDocument to parse it.

When the Request("xml") is called, the xml document that arrives is all there - except EVERY single space in the document has been truncated. Looks like this: <?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?> etc... Even the spaces between the nodes are truncated like <address>1221MainStreet</address>

Now when I URLEncode the post going out from the web sservice it works fine, however I cant do that (except for testing) because it will disrupt all the others I have in place. So WHY does ASP do this simply when grabbing a request object, and how can this be avoided?
